How I work
I like to think of my work as a path that I offer to those who feel the need to work on their homes, since the home is our second skin, the environment that more than any other (if well thought out) can positively influence our lives.
Listening
The first important step for me is to get to know each other, to identify your request for help well, to know more about your story and also to tell you about me if you want to. We will then start with an acquaintance meeting based on listening. This will also be the time for me to visit your home, either in person or with a video call, as well as ask you for the images that are most representative for you.
Your "subtle needs"
Sometimes when we think about working on our home our head immediately goes to functions, where do we put the sofa? Do we make a wardrobe or a walk-in wardrobe? who thinks about our more 'subtle' needs? Who thinks of the wellbeing that a well thought-out living room might give us? Or that ray of sunshine in the morning in the kitchen that makes the difference between having breakfast in a dark, heavy room and enjoying a sun-kissed coffee? Thanks to the exercises, together we will understand your 'subtle needs', which will become one of our pillars throughout.
Project hypothesis
With the information I will have acquired from listening to what you have told me, together with a thorough analysis of the state of affairs, I will be able to draw up project hypothesis.
We will discuss them together
Throughout the process we will keep one fundamental fact in mind: it is YOUR house, so every choice will be YOURS. What I will be able to do is to provide you with the tools you need to make your choice.
And that's not all: this is the phase in which, if required by the project, we 'get our hands dirty', i.e. we move furniture around, invent carpets and set up possible configurations with what we have. It could be that the new solution is love at first sight, if not together we can discover new ways of enhancing a room.
From theory to practice
At this point we can't wait to see what we have thought up together come to fruition. That is why I prepare the graphics and metric calculations to be handed over to the companies for quotation requests.
Book now, so we can get to know each other!
Our experience was positive, very satisfying, consistent with what had been estimated and agreed upon in the initial stages of the project. Every need was considered and developed with proposals and ideas that proved useful in arriving at the final design. Based on our experience, I was very satisfied with Alice's approach, especially regarding the preparatory phase and collection of our needs. So I wouldn't change anything!
I felt very involved in the journey we took together. Alice helped me realize the shop idea I had in mind, working together not only on the spaces and furnishings but also on the values I wanted to convey to my audience.
I wouldn’t change a single part of the process… you helped us in great ways, always positive, guiding us, motivating us and setting (soft) deadlines to make the project move forward.
Faq
Call your trusted workers and we will work with them. Nevertheless, if you need help, I can provide you with my network contacts in Italy and abroad.
Our platform of reference will be the web. Technologies today offer us so many tools to stay in touch and work well while optimising time. If your home is close to me then we will also have meetings in person.
Are you really sure? If you contact me, we can get to know each other better, then I can explain my way of working to you!
It is normal, the search for a style takes time and the right answers to the right questions.
